What We’re Looking For
ITF workshops reflect standards-based learning in the five categories of the theatre education framework: acting, producing/directing, designing, writing, and dramaturgy. Workshops are 60 minutes and geared toward students. Proposals should:
- Demonstrate best thinking in the field
- Be informed by theory, experience, and practice
- Explain how participants will learn and grow from your content
- Show alignment with EdTA’s DEIA goals, which include addressing the under-representation of BIPOC presenters and encouraging culturally responsive education
Selection Process
Proposals are evaluated by a committee of educators using a field-tested scoring rubric that evaluates each proposal’s strength in the following:
- Artistic excellence of the presenter and content
- Educational merit in theatre framework and standards alignment, as well as achievable learning goals
- Diversity, equity, inclusion, and access goals for racial representation and culturally responsive instruction
- Relevance to the event’s theme/goals, EdTA’s mission, and important theatre learning
EdTA staff makes final selections based on scores and scheduling needs. Selected presenters will be notified in mid-January and will have one week to accept the invitation to present.
Compensation
Selected presenters receive:
- Complimentary event registration
- Honorarium
- Campus housing and parking
- Meals at designated campus dining locations
Travel expenses (flights, mileage, rental cars) are the responsibility of the presenter.
